Daniel P. O’Hare, 62, of North Haven, passed away on May 6, 2020 at his home after a short battle with cancer. Dan was born on November 5, 1957 to the late William and Rosemary O’Hare. Dan graduated from Quinnipiac University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. After 32 years, Dan retired in February 2020 from Ulbrich Stainless Steel & Metals, Inc., a loyal company that treated him as family. While employed at Ulbrich, Dan was instrumental in establishing a manufacturing plant in Sheffield, England, where he lived and worked for over five years. Dan was also employed by Bigelow Tea Company in Fairfield. Dan is survived by his siblings; Karen O’Hare Davis, Patricia O’Hare Boudreau (Robert), Matthew O’Hare and Thomas (TJ) O’Hare (Audrey). He was the proud uncle of Erin and Matthew Boudreau, Alison Davis and William and Elin O’Hare. He is survived by his stepmother, Lorraine Fiondella O’Hare, and her five children. He is also survived by his uncles, John (Rita) O’Hare, Arthur (Kay) O’Hare and his aunt, Mary Eagan. He was predeceased by his brother-in-law, Alan C. Davis. Dan was a passionate sports fan and his two favorite teams were the Boston Red Sox and the Green Bay Packers. He enjoyed playing slow-pitch softball, especially as a member of the Bishop Electric team who won many Friday night championships and Carl Veith Tournaments. He was also a Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference baseball umpire. Dan was an avid skier and loved O’Hare family ski weekends at Okemo Mountain in Ludlow, Vermont. He was a music enthusiast who enjoyed attending live concerts and he was also a big fan of the “Italian Bomb” at Modern Apizza. Dan was a proud North Haven resident and was blessed to have grown up in the Dover Road/Coventry Circle neighborhood where he made countless memories with lifelong friends who were like extended family.

Deepest Sympathy to Dan’s family. After working with Dan for over 30 years, he will be truly missed.
I worked with Danny for 32 years. He was my office pal and laughed at all my jokes. He was my favorite guinea pig when it came to my cooking. He never refused a good home cooked meal. My containers always came back clean too. He was always there to answer tax questions. I will miss him tremendously and I am sad that his adventurous soul didn’t get more time to enjoy his retirement. Rest easy my friend.
Love, Laurianne and Ray DeMartino
So sorry to hear of Dan’s passing. I was very fortunate to be from the old neighborhood, and to have Dan for a friend. My condolences to Dan’s family.
Karen, Patricia, Matthew, & Thomas,

May the love and mercy of a Our Lord bestowed upon you and your families during this unfortunate and difficult time.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.

Karen, Patty, Matt, TJ,
I can’t image what you’re going through with the passing of your dad and now Dan. I will always be thankful for his friendship and the memories we shared from our days at Ulbrich and especially on the softball field!
Rest in peace my friend.
My condolences to the O’Hare Family. My God Bless your Soul in Heaven Dan. Now that your Heaven, enjoy a real beer instead of a “fake” one with Ginger Baker of Cream.
Dan O had a special place in our lives and hearts. We will always remember the laughs we had, the mischief we ran into, the life’s moments we will never forget.. till we meet again 💙🙏💙 My deepest condolences to his entire family for which he loved so very much. So blessed to have a loving caring family and friend. Rest in Peace
Dan O….you will be truly missed. In spite of this, I will still not cheer for the Red Sox over the Phillies. The NL is still superior time the AL. What is a DH anyway! Still, the Pack and the Sox will always hold a special place for me because of you! Love you brother….miss you already, Godspeed!
Thinking of you with sympathy and wishing you God’s comfort and peace.
Very sorry for your loss.
He was just a great person.
RIP my friend!
